Platinum is a beautiful and rare metal and is an excellent choice of metal for making wedding rings. However, platinum and gold rings will not look good on one’s hand if it is too tight or too loose. It is essential, therefore to get a ring that fits perfectly on the wearer’s ring finger. The first step involved in getting a perfect fit is to get the wearer’s ring size. It is advisable for buyers to take along with them to the store, the person for whom the ring is being ordered, and choose from the selection of rings available. Even though in such cases, the surprise element of presenting the gift will be lost, it will ensure that the ring fits properly on the wearer’s finger.

Since platinum is a very dense, heavy metal, so a platinum ring is usually heavier than an 18ct gold ring. Platinum is also more durable than gold and so is more preferred for wedding bands. However, because of all these positive characteristics of platinum, it is significantly more expensive than gold, approximately twice the price of an 18ct white gold ring. Platinum provides an excellent backdrop for diamonds but is equally elegant alone. Most men prefer platinum wedding bands, if they can afford it, because of its streamlined beauty, and hypoallergenic proprieties. Taking into account it’s rarity and cost, the selection of platinum and gold wedding bands is obviously smaller than the ranges available for gold and titanium rings.

Most men, when choosing platinum wedding rings, tend to opt for the simpler version, even though platinum allows for maximum versatility. Most platinum rings are made on a thick extruded blank. It is suggested to ask the vendors to clearly display the thickness and the weigh of the rings. Platinum rings can be made with a comfort-fit also for more comfortable wearing. Platinum rings can be set with precious stones, like Rubies or Blue Sapphires, instead of diamonds, or a combination of precious stones and diamonds.
